how to move objects?

I really can't figure it out, I used Body.Velocity it does work, but it seems buggy. Also I tried to create Controller and use Body.AddBodyForce(), again fail. Does anyone know how to move Body? if you have working code of this, post it, please.

body.MoveTo(Vector3 position, Matrix orientation);

this should work with a body using collisionskin containing box, sphere, and or capsules

body.MoveTo(Vector3 position, Matrix orientation); isn't a good method for moving characters in real time, this method "teleports" the object, but I need something that will move objects smoothly.

well it doesnt just teleport. it also wakes up anything resting against it.

if your trying to apply a velocity you might want to make your own body class heres a example based on character body

public class DesiredVelocityBody : Body
        {

            public Vector3 desiredVelocity;

            public override void AddExternalForces(float dt)
            {
                ClearForces();

                Vector3 deltaVel = desiredVelocity - Velocity;

                bool running = true;

                if (desiredVelocity.LengthSquared() < JigLibX.Math.JiggleMath.Epsilon) running = false;
                else deltaVel.Normalize();

                deltaVel.Y = 0.0f;

                // start fast, slow down slower
                if (running) deltaVel *= 10.0f;
                else deltaVel *= 2.0f;

                float forceFactor = 1000.0f;

                AddBodyForce(deltaVel * Mass * dt * forceFactor);

                AddGravityToExternalForce();
            }
        }
